Battle of Raclawice

The Battle of Raclawice (4 April 1794) was one of the first battles of the Kosciuszko Uprising, fought between Tadeusz Kosciuszko's Polish rebel army and a smaller Russian army. General Fiodor Denisov planned to attack the Poles from the south as Tormasov's force blocked Kosciuszko, but the Poles assaulted Tormasov's cannon and drove the Russians back with a bayonet charge. Kosciuszko then marched back to Krakow, where the Poles celebrated their heroic victory against the Russian Empire.
